Hi, can anyone help me ideally in excel to show me how Within sigma was calculated, I am able to get only Overall

Thank you

Actually, the picture you posted is using a moving range to estimate the within standard deviation. The MR uses a surrogate subgroup size of 2 (previous-current). You will need the average MR.

estimated standard deviation = MR-bar/d2

Why do you need to do this in Excel?

Hi Jim,

because I need to understand the mechanism behind to explain others
